Ten years ago, my student Rob Schware and I invested $87 to establish the Give Back Yoga Foundation as a 501(c)3. From this humble beginning, we took a first step towards an audacious vision: we hoped that by helping yogis to give back, we would nurture a grassroots movement of yoga service that would plant seeds of social change and healing for all of humanity.

Today, your wholehearted support of this vision has turned Give Back Yoga into a thriving gateway organization for yoga service. Looking at the growth of our outreach and service community over the past year, there seems no denying it: this is, indeed, a movement.

Yoga, in its purest form, is about service. The experience of yoga is one of connectedness – and once we awaken to this truth, we can’t help but to look for ways to share the joy, compassion and loving kindness we have found through practice.

There has never been a better time to join the spiritual revolution. Thank you for being part of this.

Together, we are creating a ripple effect of change that is touching the lives of individuals, and strengthening families and communities. I’m deeply grateful that you are helping to shape this movement of transformation. And as you strive to answer that essential question, “How can I serve?” my hope is that you experience the same rich dividend that I have – a life filled with meaning and purpose, each and every day.
